Poetry Ireland at 40
This year marked Poetry Ireland’s
40th birthday. To celebrate the
occasion we commissioned a new
poem from Aifric Mac Aodha,
translated by Billy Ramsell, both of
whom share our vintage!
We were delighted that Aifric
was there to read the poem for
us at our joint Christmas, Poetry
Ireland Review launch and birthday
celebration on 12 December. Poetry
Ireland’s founder John F Deane also
joined us for the celebrations.
We have 40 poem cards to give away
to anyone who’d like one. Please
email media@poetryireland.ie with
your name and address and we will be
delighted to post one out to the first
40 people to get in touch.
